I glanced thru their last 3 finals video, the highest quality match was the Thai Open Final. Wong/Chin were competitive until at 11-12 in the rubber game, when their game collapsed suddenly (or maybe the former Olympic Champs went to overdrive).

they dont dare to smile la..they ever won the sea game gold medal?hmm..gud luck to them also..everyday read newspaper to see their current result..rtm1 nowadays dun wan to show the matches le..last time every matches will have..ee..hate la..

Great match yesterday, even better than Thai Open final. I didn't expect Wong/Chin to be able to play that well and almost upset the World No 1 pair, but in the end fate and lower fitness levels decide that it was not to be. Can't complain though, in terms of skills, mental preparation and determination, our girls did not lose out to the Olympic Champs.

Hopefully they can play even better in China and HK.

Yeah. They should have won the 2nd game when leading 19-17. Well, they were just too tentative and the Olympic Champions were just too tough.

I suppose you could say that, but then they should have lost the 1st game and didn't ..... Tentative or not, getting 2 pts out of the Olympic Champs is much tougher than getting double that no of pts out of other pairs ......

Amazing fitness, the CHN WD squad has. Something that their WS counterparts do not share .....

ya they should have won g2.what a waste. so near yet so far. but then wasy 4 us to day hard for them who play. hmm. nway i am proud of them though they lost but they gave their best. they really improve a lot. hope they do well in CHN n HKG.want them to be consistent and climb the world ranking

KUALA LUMPUR: It has been an extraordinary two weeks in Europe for the top national women’s doubles pair of Chin Eei Hui-Wong Pei Tty (pic).

And national coach Rexy Mainaky attributed their achievements in winning the Danish Open followed by a runners-up finish in the French Open to their ability to think outside of the box.

In Paris last Sunday, the world number eight showed plenty of variety in their game plan and they came close to beating Olympic champions and world number one Du Jing-Yu Yang of China in the final. They went down fighting 22-20, 19-21, 11-21 in a one-hour battle.

A week ago, they won the Danish Open title in Odense and it was their first success in an international Open tournament.

Their performances brought renewed respect of their status as a top 10 pair in the world.

Rexy was happy that Eei Hui-Pei Tty had improved on the way they map out strategies to trap their opponents.

“I did not do much on their skills. Their techniques and skills had been honed by (Cheah) Soon Kit (their previous coach). I helped them to be more open in their approaches,” said Rexy.

“There have been a lot more discussions after training sessions. They are not rigid with the way they play like before. But the notable difference that I see is that both are really enjoying the game. It shows in their face and body movements.”

Rexy plans to give the duo a break from competition by withdrawing them from the Johor Open from Nov 11-14. Instead, he will continue to work on their game in preparation for the Opens in China (Nov 18-23) and Hong Kong (Nov 25-20).

On the performances of the men’s pairs of Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong and Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari-Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif in the Danish and French Opens, Rexy said: “They did not win the titles but Koo and Tan showed some positive signs in the way they played.

“I will be talking to Fairuzizuan-Zakry on their inconsistent performances.”
